Billionaire activist George Soros is funding a group urging secretaries of state and other elections officials to ban Trump from running for president in 2024 by enacting the disqualification clause of the 14th Amendment.
The group Free Speech For People, teaming with Mi Familia Vota, states on its website that on Jan. 6, 2021, “former President Donald Trump incited a violent insurrection, attacking Congress and our nation’s Capitol, in an effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election.”
The post-Civil War clause bars anyone from running for office who after taking the oath to protect the Constitution “engaged in insurrection” against the United States or gave “aid or comfort” to the nation’s enemies.
Trump announced Tuesday he will vie for the Republican nomination in 2024, and ABC reported the two groups “are already working behind the scenes to mount a national push to get elections officials to stop him from being on the ballot because of Jan. 6 – even as similar such efforts have failed against other Republicans.”
John Bonifaz, co-founder and president for Free Speech For People said, nevertheless, that Trump “is going to face legal challenges for his eligibility, but he will also face scrutiny from secretaries of state and chief election officials, regardless of whether there will be a legal challenge.”
Soros is known for pouring billions of dollars into progressive causes over more than three decades, including some 75 district attorneys whose policies favoring criminals have been blamed in part for the spike in crime in America’s largest cities. Soros also funds drug legalization, euthanasia, open borders, globalism, Black Lives Matter, “defunding the police,” devaluing America’s currency and globalist efforts that degrade America’s sovereignty.
